If your local organization has something upcoming make sure we know about it. We do our best to search for what’s happening in our community, but you can help by listing them as Facebook “events” rather than just a posting on your Facebook page, this gives us all the information about the event in a format that can be copied to our community calendar with ease and accuracy. You can also email us directly using events@sanfordspringvalenews.com.
